FAQs

Antique Baluch rugs are hand-knotted floor coverings traditionally made by nomadic and semi-nomadic Baluchi tribes inhabiting the borderlands of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, known for rich dark palettes and geometric motifs.

These historical pieces typically feature hand-spun sheeps wool pile knotted onto wool or sometimes cotton warps and wefts, dyed using natural vegetable and insect colourants.

Authenticity is identified through organic colour variations in the wool, asymmetrical knots, lustrous lanolin-rich pile, and traditional tribal motifs such as the tree of life or repeated geometric gulls.

An antique tribal rug adds warmth and texture to contemporary spaces, working well as a focal point over hardwood floors or layered on top of larger natural fibre carpets.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without rotating brushes, periodic professional cleaning by specialists in antique textiles, and keeping the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
